In the past invoice discounting was aimed at larger established businesses with an established profitable track record. However the criteria is now more relaxed. The basic criteria for an invoice discounting facility is:

~ Your business sells to other businesses.
~ Those sales need to be on credit terms.
~ Invoices should be raised in arrears of delivery of those products and services.
~ Your consumers should be credit worthy.
~ A sustained audit trail should exist proving that products or services were both ordered and delivered.
~ Your credit control function should be able to show a system for chasing overdue debts that is methodical and effective.
